Two Simian Parents With Their j
Qnafnt Hairy Babies in Town.
A ; picture that is at once pathetic and pleas
Ing is to be presented at the St. Paul'museum
this week. It is nothing less than two moth
erly female monkeys nursing their funny
little hairy babies. Naturalists familiar
with the habits of the monkey family say
that, they are as tender and loving to their
offspring as ever human mother was. These
mothers, it is certain, prove the naturalist to
be right. They hold the little ones in their
arms, pet them, dandle them on their knees
and;, handle them just as a human mother
•would. The natural mischicvotisness of the
moilkey gives way to a maternal solicitude
that is at once laughable and true to nature

FROM FOREIGN LANDS
Ex-President Hamm Returns
From His Five- Months'
European Trip.
His many Friends Will Be
Pleased to Learn of His
Restored Health.
Mr. Hamm Has Something* to
Say Respecting the Mc-
Kinley Tariff Law.
How It is Going- to Cripple the
Trade of This Country
Abroad.
Ex-President Hamm, ot tho city council
lias returned from his Kuropcun trip. Five
months ago he left st. Paul in very poor
health. His friends, and they may be num
bered by the hundred, will be pleased to
know he returns wilh his health thoroughly
Wa-vk/s^va
restored, or. as he
himself puts it;
'l never felt bet
ter in my life."
'i here is no neeO
in a st.l'aul news
paper to devote
any space by wav
pf explaining who
is William llnmm
Jr.. or "Billy
llnmm," as tu>
friends love to call
him. lie ha
grown op with
the city, and hs a
young man, polit
ically, he has not
bis equal. He is
one of the strong
csi candidates
whom the Demo- ;*• ■ - - ■ ■-. - "
crats can but in the fieid. and already the
' ringer of destiny has marked him us an
available nominee for the mayoralty at
the termination of Mayor Mnitli's present
tern), it being; generally" understood that he
does not intend to accept a rencmiiutiioo.
The popularity of Mr. llamm is phenomenal.
It is not entirely confined io tne Germans,
with which nationality be is specially identi
fied, but of all nationalities and classes, His
term in the city council increased his hold
upon the people; and so ably did he conduct
himself that after one year's service he was
elected to preside over the deliberations of
hi! brother aldermen. Progressive in his
ideas, able, full of energy, a resitless deter
mination, Mr. Hammisa typical represen
tative of that force and intellectuality which
has made Si. Paul what it is to-day. «
Is it to be wondered then that general re
gret should have been manifest by his en
forced re ireinem from the city council?
But while his health made it necessary for
him to refuse a renomiumiou for office.much
of the glorious victory won by the Democrats
last spring was due to the spirit, energy and
wise counsel of Mr. 1 Hainm in his capacity of
chairman of the Democratic city committee.
It was shortly after the humiiiatiug defeat
administered the Republicans that he was
compelled to hasten abroad. His health con
tinued to grow worse. The year previous he
had visited Europe, and, while he returned
apparently invigorated for the change, ( the
cure had not been perfect. Another trip and
perfect rest was manifest.
"•Last year," remarked Mr. llamm last even
ing, -when I visited Europe, imagining that
it would be the last opportunity, as it was the
first that I had had to visit the old world, I
naturally made an effort to 'see everything."
1 went here, there and everywhere." There
was nothing worth seeing [hat I did not see.
'ihesightseeiug was delightful and instruc
tive, but it retarued the thorough restoration
of my health. I got the change— in fact it
was all change and no rest. " When I
found it necessary to again lay down
my work this year and once again
'.urn my face to foreign shores. I determined
to make the trip one of absolute rest. Ac
cordingly 1 journeyed straight to Southern
Germany, aud there I have >pent five months
wooing bacK my health. That 1 have been
successful is demons-tinted from my appear
ance. I not only look well, but I feei well?
"Having spent my time abroad practically
in one locality, and made it a duty, to take
comparatively little. stock in what was
going on about me. there is very little
that I can say respecting my trip.
But. there i 3 one thing _ I could not
fall to notice, and that the comments of the :
European press upon the McKJnley bill. The
newspapers appeared to be filled with nothing i
but the .»icKiuley bid. -It seemed then to ag- |
nate the people abroad equally, if not more,
than it did the people of this country. 1 cer
tainly was more impressed by it."
■•Of the McKinley bi;l there can be but one
01 iniou : that while it has seriously affected
tm'l" in other Countries with this country, it
istoiii; to be a bad thing for the working
I*.. , it- here. There are articles and raw ma
terial taxed which we are compelled to im
port, as they cannot be raised or manufact
ured here. This is going to work hardly
upon the working people. There :is
also this danger beginning to face us: the
people abroad, ignorant of the political end
aimed at by the Republicans by this MeKin
ley tariff, look upon it as a blow at their trade
with us. The feeling is uppermost to cripple
our trade with there, and already in several
countries a. movement is underway to ac
complish this end. It is impossible to esti
mate the strong enmity which the McKinley
tariff has created among foreign people
against this country, and no one can esti
mate the damace it is going to do our trade.
"1 was delighted when the news was
flashed abroad of the Democratic victories.
It was a surprise when 1 found we had se
cured control of congress by over seventy
members. In my most exuberant moments I
never contemplated such a sweeping vic
tory. Of course I expected nothing less than
what was accomplished by the Ramsey
county Democracy.but the landslide through
out the state was somewhat of a surprise. I
think, however, that we ought to have car
ried the governor. We never had a Detter
opportunity.
•■•What am I going loao? Settle down to
work right away.
'•What! Hun for mayor two years hence?
Come, come; what are you talking about?
It i.- not my intention to run for any political
oll.ee: but I will tell- you what I am going to
do: lam going :to stand by the cause of
Democracy and render whatever aid I can to
keep its banner in the ascendency."' .-

THE TREASURY RAID
In Process of Formulation by the
State Institutions.
r The state board of; correction and chari
ties met yesterday afternoon at the capitol.
Those- present were C. Amundsou, of St.
Peter; G. A. Bractett, of Minneapolis; Rev.
S. G. Smith and John W. Willis; of St. Paul:
W. C. WHliston, of lied Wing, and Secretary
11. 11. Hart. C.ov..Me:riam, who is cx-officio
president of the board, was not present. Tho
meeting was called for the Durpose of consid
ering the tourth biennial report of the beard
to the next legislature and the requirements
of the various state institutions. Though tho
board was in session for over three hours,
the reporters who represent the morning
papers at the capitol. and who had been re
quested to wait for the particulars 'of the
business transacted, were informed that the
only matter which could be announced was
the fact that the board met to consider the
report, nud adjourned subject to the call of
the governor, who was not present. It is un
derstood that the board will request the legis
lature to appropriate an amount of money as
large, it not larger, than the amount appro
priated at the last legislature for building
improvements and current expenses. This
amount was $1.8<ij,370, nil of whicn has
been expended for the two years ending
July 31, 189 •. In the face of the returns of
all the state institutions showing thai the
present attendance is less thau 18SS or 18S1»,
the expenses me yearly increasing. Many
of the representatives recently elected have
expressed themselves as strongly opposed to
the granting of the requests for ap
propriations of large sums for the state
nstiiutions. One prominent business man,
who will be heard' in the next legislature,
said, only a lew days ago, that the state of
Minnesota was building institutions at a cost
vastly in excess of the requirements. There
will be a general overhauling of the state
institutions when the requests for appropri
ations are submitted to the legislature, it is
current talk in the capitol that the appropri
ations originally asked tor from the last legis
lature for the maintainauce of the state in
stitutions actually exceeded the total receipts
of ■ moneys in the state treasury, and it was
only at the instance of the governor, who
threatened to veto tho appropriations if
passed, that they were cut down by the com
mittees. •:

which it stood to the ground. Miss Jennie

so horribly burned that it is feared she may
die. The Rondo street patrol wagon con

THE IMESON FATALITY,- 0;
Bystanders Vainly Try to Save
Him — An Inquest to Be Held.' "*.
The sad accident that caused the death of
one of West St. Paul's highly respected cit
izens, James W. luieson, appears from the
statements of eye witnesses to have hap
pened thus: Mr. [meson, who was a govern
ment pauger at the South St. Paul dis
tillery, was accompanied by his wife
and was driving his horse home at
5:30 in the eveniug. He stopped at the
main entrance of the stockyards, . where Ihe
got out and opened the gate. Several engines
were in use handling live stock. The glare
of the headlights and clatter of the bells
were confusing, but he finally returned to
the carriage and urged the horse to a trot to
pass through an open space. There were
engines on the two east tracks nearest the
yards, which tracks he crossed in safety, but
lie evidently did not see the blazing 'head
light of the switch engine which was moving
ears over the private crossing from the
switch tracks, and northward behind the -fire
engine house, opposite the depot.
The switch engine had moved only about
half a dozen -car lengths : from the switch
track on to the "le.acl" track, when it struck
the carriage at a low rale of speed, as may Le
inferred from so short a start and from "the
further fact that the train was : stopped jj sev
enty-five feet from where it struck the buggy.
Bystanders had shouted and yelled to keep
them back, but it was too late. Mrs. linerson
e.thef jumped or was thrown out, while her !
husband was thrown into the wreck of tho
buggy aud moved along the track fifty or
sixty feet, where he was picked up. The

wife was carried to the depot and waited

avoidable, and Coroner Cadzow was disin

which Mr. • Imeson has long been an active
member, were preparing to hold the funeral
at the residence- this afternoon at a o'clock,

of money in the South Park electric motor

„ James Doylg, an employe of the Litt opera* !
opera house, was arrested last night at the
instance of Walter P. Dean, manager- of the*
•Harris theater, charged: with having torn :
down bills advertising the Harris, displayed^
in the upber windows of : the ' Kavanagh
block, now in «y3uri/er of ; construction on
Wabasha.street. ?)oyle. gave bail for his op
pearance on Monday morning to answer to
the charge. Contractor Thomas Johnston
stated that he had given both the managers
permission to hang paper in the windows, but
not anticipated that trouble would result.
Dean states that the Lilt men have been sys- .
tematically pulling down, the Harris paper
for months past, and that he intends to make
an example of Doyle, who was caught in the.
act. - The bill posters for the two theaters ■
have been at loggerheads for some lime, and : ':
the arrest last night was the first gun of open
warfare. " '■

THE NEW STORE,

EIGHTY-SIX.
■

All odd price, eighty-six
cents. The odd-price craze
seeips to pervade the coun
try. Now, an odd price is
not necessarily a low price.
There's a good deal of
catch-penny business about
it. Take the common 48
--cent scheme, for instance.
It's true, 48 cents is two
cents less than 50; but as
any school child knows, it's
three cents more than 45
cents. On general princi
ples we don't believe in odd
prices except for very small
things. It's too much like
catering for pennies when
greater things may be done.
Our odd price of eighty
six cents, however, means
also &n extremely low one.
Nearly a thousand yards
of
NOVELTY SILKS
In lengths ranging from 2
to 16 yards, worth §1.50, $2
and §2.50 a yaf d, will be on
sale to-morrow at
EIGHTY-SIX CENTS.
These will be cut in any
length desired.
There will also be offered
at the same price— B6 cents
— about 600 yards of
Twilled India Silks, worth
4n New York to-day 51.25.
If you want a pretty house
gown or a dress for next
spring take one of these at
86 cents. They're beauti
~ftil and very elieap.
A small lot of Persian
Silks received yesterday are
very similar to some sold
lately at $1.25. These also
go at 86 cents.
DRESS GOODS.
Main Aisle. Under Skylight.
Although not at an odd
price, we have a Dress
(ioods offering fully as at
tractive at an even price.
Between 40 and 50 pieces
of Imported All- Wool Dress
(loods, in neat and pretty
stripes, at
FIFTY CENTS
A yard. They're worth
more than that to the im
porter, and at retail would
be a good value at 75 or 85
cents. They're the last of
a lot of 400 pieces, which
we sold at the latter prices.
Our line of evening
shades in soft wool fabrics
is a decidedly attractive
feature. All the new and
rare shades of Heliotrope,
Old Pink, Green and Leg
horn are here in a variety
of qualities and prices.
Black Silk- Warp Henri
ettas, the best and hand
somest in the world, at the
old prices, viz.: $1.25, $1.50,
f 1.65, $1.75, $2 and up to
$3. In a very short time
these prices will be a thing
<>f the past, and if you an
ticipate buying a Silk
, Warp Henrietta in the near
future, take our advice and
don't delay.
CORSETS.

had about 12 dozen Corset
